Check out this amazing video advertising a fashion outlet village in Sicily. I love how it features people with Advanced Style! A reader from Italy sent it my way this morning. Here is her fun note to me:

Photographer and author, Ari Seth Cohen, is the creator of Advanced Style, a project devoted “to capturing the sartorial savvy of the senior set.” He says, “I feature people who live full creative lives. They live life to the fullest, age gracefully and continue to grow and challenge themselves.”

When a hill is cut by machinery, it often exposes layers of past history. That is what this blog will do for the rest of us. It will show layer upon layer of ideal fashion sense from previous generations. Thank, Ari, for coming up with this concept for your blog. I'll be sure to follow your findings.

Having had inlaws who were 1st generation Sicilian-American and having visited Sicily myself, there is a fashion sense on that island that defies our American stereotype of a 'backward' 'oldschool' Sicilian. (We Americans think we're such know-it-alls)

Brava to Alessandra and her Mom for alerting us to this video! I'm going to give it a thumbs up on youtube!

There is one thing that stands out to me in this video: color. People are afraid to wear color now, when you are used to seeing boring neutrals and black a good splash of color is like a breath of fresh air.
